Semana 21/104


Wow its Monday again.

This week felt super fast just like the others, but hey time flies when you're having fun. 

This week I figured out that I can explain things quicker in Spanish than in English.   Now I really need to think about what I'm going to say in English but in Spanish it just comes out naturally until there is a word I don't know.

I played volley ball this week with my zone which was super fun!  What I'm really missing is rugby, especially hitting.  That's fine.

One more time this week the dog found us and followed us to our pinchanistas house.  We have named it Chocolate. 












Yesterday we were walking in a really poor part of our area where all the houses are on stilts. No I didn't fall into the river below!  We taught a family in that area.  What was really interesting is that at the end of the lesson one of the men told us that he had a dream about us.  He said that he knew that someone like us were going to visit him that day.  He didn't know why or when but he just knew that we would come.  It's amazing how our Heavenly Father prepares people to hear the message of His restored gospel.





I know that God is aware of every little thing in our life and he loves us more than we can ever imagine.  The scripture that comes to mind for me when talking about Gods love for us is John 3:16-17

16) For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life
17) For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.

I know that Jesus died for us, as we repent and keep the commandments of God we will be saved.

este es un otro día en el paraiso (This is another day in paradise)
cuídense todos les extraño mucho (Takecare of everyone, I miss you so much)

Semana #83 - WHACK

Today is changes and Elder Meeks and I are staying 1 more change together.  On Tuesday the area doctor came to Pucallpa to give us a training on how to stay healthy in the mission and in the real world.  It was a great training. The funny thing was I got really sick right before the whole thing. Also this week we had to help a lot of other missionaries so that took out time from out teaching hours.  A couple companionship's had to move houses this week so we helped them move.  It was fun.  Now this week there are a couple areas that need to move and haven't found a house so Elder Meeks and I have to help them look because its been 2 weeks and they haven't found anything.  It will be fun to  go house hunting this coming week. The biggest thing that I'm excited for this week is GENERAL CONFERENCE.   It's always a huge blessing to be able to listen to the prophets' voice and from the 12 apostles.  I know they are called of God...

Semana #84 - GIVE

So this week was general conference it was absolutely amazing!!   I loved listening to the apostles and the prophet. This week we also had to spend a whole day in Campo Verde to look for a house for the elders there.   It was a long day but we finally found a house and it looks really nice.  Campo Verde is the area in my zone that is very far away, it's 30 min in car, (that's really far for us). We also had to receive a bunch of missionaries that came to our zone.  The funny thing was that the airline that was always used - closed down the day before the whole mission took flights for their changes.  That was something big that happened and the personal secretary had to figure out.  Well as always love you all and I really hope that you can take the time to listen to some inspired talks from general conference. I know that they can help you change your life to be closer to God and in the end be happier. una semana mas...

Semana #85 - A

So this week was full of things to do. Really the only normal days I had this week were Monday and Tuesday.  On Wednesday I flew to Iquitos for our leadership conference. We had our announcement meeting and in the middle of it it started to rain really hard so we went inside of the mission home.  It's a very nice house, and we continued until the power went out.  Then we went home early because there was no power to continue the meeting.  On Thursday we had our counsel as leaders.   We talked about the powers of the Book of Mormon and how it can literally help us solve our problems that we have in our lives.  We talked about the  DEVASTATING sin of pride, we read the talk by Ezra Taft Benson, "Beware of Pride".  I encourage all of you to read it. Then on Friday we went back to Pucallpa and as we got home we had to take a 30 min car ride to Campo Verde to do a baptismal interview for them (the elders).  It was...
